Jewels for Hope
Jewels for Hope was founded in 2004 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes to collect jewelry to benefit the Children’s Diabetes Foundation. The dedicated committee collects pre-loved jewelry, sorts, prices, and prepares donations for a variety of sales throughout the year. Since its inception, Jewels for Hope has raised over $500,000 for patient programs at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.
The Guild of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation’s mission is to raise funds for research, promote diabetes awareness and education, assist families in need, provide continuing education scholarships, and sponsor social activities for children and their families.
A Message From “The Jewels”
Thank you to all our wonderful supporters. We asked you to help and you have. Some people buy Jewels for Hope and some people donate Jewels for Hope. It has been so heartwarming to have people from across the country learn what we’re doing and be inspired to reach into their jewelry drawers to help us raise funds in the fight against type 1 diabetes.
